    oh man, I used to enjoy this thread because of its purity and wholesomeness, now your tossing bombs at other farmers. My world will never be the same.

    Bit of a hobby

    often times there are a bunch of them at Ritchie Bros, but I think they catch a pretty good buck, although I have no idea where the market price is on carts.

    Let's talk about gravel

    geotextile is designed to allow the water to seep through. But yes, if your using it in an application with no traffic I doubt you need it. I do wonder about putting your footings on top of the gravel, I hope your doing some sort of compaction?

    I think its the Busch boys who are the cancer. Are you thinking or Sherry Pollex, Martin Truex's significant other? She has had a very public battle with cancer in the past.

    Let's talk about gravel

    Those are joke rates. As Swat said I wouldnt start my truck for that. No wonder you see so many crappy dump trucks around Alberta. Around here the union rate for a Tandem dump is $145 plus a fuel clause. The fly by night guys who will work for less usually get run out of town fairly quickly, by...

    That is a beast no doubt. $2500 us, I might have to hide that receipt from the wife. 12 change overs at the tire shop cost about $450.00. So really it is only about 5 visits to shop .....................

    You are correct, but a guy has to be careful. I have 16 milwaukee batteries, (not including M12's, thats another story) and there is no doubt the horsepower increases with the batteries. But I learned the hard way you have to be careful. With my 3/8 impact I wont use anything bigger than an XC5...

    Makita 9005B grinders were always the go to grinder for me. There was a time when Makita was a god in the cordless tool market, back when I couldnt afford them.

    It funny you posted that, I was looking at one last weekend, made the comment to my wife I wish Milwaukee made one, I would love to have one for the convenience, but I dont want to invest in another line of batteries. Makita brought out a tool a few years ago that I almost went for, but green...

    Your are correct, I would never buy a 1 inch for home use, except I have a real problem with tools, some guys like booze, some like drugs, I have a tool problem. My wife just groans when the UPS driver shows up unannounced. My latest un-need purchase...

    DeWalt Power Tools

    In a tire shop application I would use air as well. The investment in equipment is already spent, and as has been already pointed out, the cordless would grow legs quite often. I deal with a local mobile tire repair guy, he uses both, says both have they good points and bad. He is independent...

    I consider myself pretty average, and I have 2 of them. Both air, both collecting allot of dust the past few years. May be a good deal at a garage sale one day.
